Stick around for the floor show

It’s a funny thing, punctuality. When you want it, you rarely get it, but when you need a little extra time, people show up early. This morning the excavators and I are trying to move the wood that was jettisoned all over the site yesterday by Mr. Happy. We are working hard, but it is a big mess to clear up, and if the concrete truck would only be just 15-20 minutes late, we would be sitting pretty. No pretty for you! The concrete truck rolls in five minutes early, resulting in a mad scramble to get lumber out of its path.

In the end, however, the results were excellent. Our radiant tubing had a few mishaps with loose staples, and the concrete truck had to deal with a tough angle for his chute, but overall the guys did a great job, and the floor looks real slick. All that’s left to do is paint on the lines for the basketball court before Anne gets home, and I’ll be all set.
